I can't tell for sure from the pictures, but there are two possibilities - the drive belt to the brushes broke, or the brush can't turn due to excessive hair wrapped around the shaft. If the belt is OK but the brush does not turn, you should smell burning rubber.

If the belt is broken, you have to remove the bottom plate to expose the brush, remove the brush and the broken belt, and replace the belt, and put it back to gether. While you have the brush out, now would be a good time to clean it - remove the hair, etc from the brush and around the shaft. Good Luck!

Your belt is broken and needs to be replaced. Turn this brush side up. Unscrew the cover plate and you will see where the belt goes. Pull out roller, put on new belt, put back together and there you go.

see this causes and fix it. God bless youIf the vacuum cleaner brush is not spinning, the brushroll bearing might
be jammed. Try removing the brushroll assembly and cleaning all hair,
string, lint, etc. from the brushroll bearing. If that doesn't solve the
problem the brushroll may need to be replaced.

broken, stretched out too much, or might have fallen off. Check the belt
and replace as needed.

GoVacuum.com can also special order any part that you require. I hope that this helps you. The Sanyo uprights are pretty good quality, inexpensive vacuum cleaners. They use metal in all the right places, and last longer, unlike models that use just plastic.

Hello. Here are some possibilities:
1. Your belt is broken
2. your roller brush end bearings are bound by hair or string.
3. Or both!
Unplug the vacuum, flip it upside down, manually turn the roller, is there resistance? If not, the belt is broken, and the roller is okay.

I had the same problem but I found that I had replaced belt incorrectly. After placing one end of belt around pully, it has to be run behind the "belt disengager" which looks like a 1/2" wide metal tab just past pulley. After placing belt correctly I had no more belt, burning smell or brush problems.
